Elizabeth Ann Robinson, resident of Hampton Bays and Southampton, died on January 27, 2017. She was 80.

Elizabeth Ann “Beth” Ramsbottom was born in Southampton on February 3, 1936. She attended Sacred Hearts School in Southampton and the Academy of the Sacred Heart of Mary in Sag Harbor. In 1957, she married Russell D. Robinson Jr. and moved to Hampton Bays, where they ran a construction and property management business. Mrs. Robinson continued running a portion of the business after their divorce in 1971.

In her later years, she worked as a nanny for a number of Southampton and Sag Harbor families.

Mrs. Robinson was predeceased by her ex-husband in 2001. She is survived by a brother, Douglas Ramsbottom; a sister, Janice Barr; and her five children, Elizabeth Weinstock, Janice Wilson and husband Charles, Russell Robinson, Faith Minton, and Sean Robinson and wife Natalie; and eight grandchildren, Christopher Pelatti, Ashley and Joshua Weinstock, Michael and Melissa Wilson, Jeffery Robinson, and Scott and Emily Robinson; and two great-grandchildren, Annamarie Robinson and Dylan Phelps.

A memorial Mass was held at the Basilica of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary in Southampton on February 3, followed by private interment at Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary Cemetery in Southampton.

Memorial donations may be made to Bishop McGann-Mercy Diocesan High School in Riverhead, or Our Lady of the Hamptons Regional Catholic School in Southampton.

Grave Disservice

We are very fortunate in Southampton Village to have many private organizations that support our community. It is unfortunate, then, that the village sometimes lags behind them, failing both the organizations and residents when it comes to partnering with them. I learned recently that in June 2024, our mayor signed a largely unknown agreement allowing one of these outside group to manage bioswales and buffers on village-owned property. While most such agreements would affirmatively require the outside party to submit all plans to the village for review — a simple step that protects the public and is practically boilerplate in ... by Staff Writer

Emphasis Needed

This week’s Southampton Press comments were spot on, publishing two letters concerning our environment. One of the opinions addressed the sacrifices to our well-being that are made when overuse of water and chemicals to maintain a beautiful lawn overshadows the dangers involved. In addition, the tremendous overuse of plastics in packaging and wrapping is going to continue to take ever-increasing tolls on the environment and, more significantly, our health. My main concern is that the younger generation, from grammar school children forward, are not made aware, through more vigorous emphasis throughout their education, of the dangers to our environment.

Protect Horseshoe Crabs

Group for the East End lends its voice to the inhabitants of our natural environment that cannot speak for themselves. Take the American horseshoe crab. These arthropods have survived five mass extinctions on planet Earth in their 450-million-year existence. That’s an extraordinary feat. They are known as a keystone species, meaning other animals, such as migratory birds, depend on them for their own survival. Horseshoe crabs also have contributed to lifesaving medical advancements and improved human health. Now, it is our turn to help them. Comprehensive studies released this past summer reaffirm a drastic population decline over the last 25 ... by Staff Writer

Within my limit of 450 words, I have listed below an abbreviated review of what is not normal for an American president, as the whirlwind of choices Trump has made have blurred the boundaries of normalcy. • It is not normal for a president to send military or National Guard to American cities when there is no crisis, just because he feels like it. • It is not normal for a president to condone terrorizing people and arresting them because they don’t ... by Staff Writer
